The Colts are 32nd in the league when it comes to covering running backs in the passing game. But you don’t even have to dive that deeply into the analytics: They’re the third most generous to running backs in fantasy.

Miller has proven he can do damage either way, pairing rushing and receiving touchdowns in two games this season.

Thusday afternoon, news broke that quarterback Deshaun Watson tore his ACL in practice and will miss the rest of the season. Former starter Tom Savage starter. In my estimation, this development likely increases touches Miller will see with a new starting quarterback being installed this late in the week.

The Texans were dealt a blow with Deshaun Watson's ACL injury in practice Thursday, but it only enhances the case to be made for his backfield mate, Lamar Miller.
